Sheep is right. Put just enough fuel for the run, and let it run until the fuel is spent. Don't want to let fuel sit in the carburetor, it will evaporate and gum it up. If you are thinking of purchasing or upgrading, buy a dual fuel one that can run on propane or gasoline. Propane never goes bad, or gums up your carb. You can keep several bottles on hand. In most emergencies, there are long lines for gasoline, but propane is usually available at many locations.

My whole house generator runs on natural gas. I believe the only thing the oil is used for is for the motor? Heck, I am a novice at all this!

OK so I misspoke. Our generator runs on propane. We have a separate propane tank outside that the company we've contracted it from fills automatically every other day when it's running. So it's gas, but not gas. And you think you're confused, Gloria?!?

Well, called them again today…
Can’t give a time for them to come out yet as still too many people out! They might be able to tell me in a couple of weeks when they can tell me… Ya think they might be under staffed?
